Our venerable contemporary, the Phil
adelphia North american, in its Washing
ton society letter gives a pleasant notice
to the Army and Navy german at the
National Rifles Armory, and says: "The
dean of the navy led the german" just
who "the dean Of the navy" is, has not
yet occurred to us, but if the beautiful
and accomplished DR.. Dean of the Navy
is re ferred to, we haven't another word
to say Washington Critic.

Inthe land Of coons and cotton,
Land of bayous and Of Bourbons,
Land of hoe-cakes and magnolias,
And the wide-mouthed alligatOrs
That are fond of Northern tourists;
In the land Of endless summer,
Where the carpet-bagging blizzard
Freezes up the orange orchards,
Run by Mrs. Stowe and others
In this land resides the Grady,
Grady Of the fair Atlanta,
in the fine old State Of Georgia.

There is a discussion over the scant at
tire of the ballet in the new opera OF
Merlin" just brought out, all of which is
only an advertisement for the opera.
There have been discussions about scant
bathing costumes in summer, and low
neck dresses in winter, but all the same
fashion follows its bumors.
We read in books how the simple
old %quadrille caused terror to modesty,
and the staid gentlemen in the play says,
that a young lady should only dance a
minuet and hardly touch the fingers of
her partner. A good many things that
we do would be wrong, but for custom
and custom just now prescribes a short
and airy skirt for the ballet.

The weather has acted like a coquette
OF many moods for some days past, al
ternately smiles and frowns, sunshine
and snow. We are promised warmer
but perhaps cloudy weather again with
snow or rain.
The overshoe is still in demand, and as
young ladies' feet are o seen there Is
no reason that the Chicago size should

The Indemnity Board arc summoned

of accepting the inevitable in a manly
and sensible way.
